On Wednesday, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis indicated Wilson would be able to play in Saturday’s exhibition vs. the Jets if needed, with Lewis noting the second-year quarterback had shown a grasp of the Bengals’ “terminology” thus far in practice.

“You’re sitting on the street, you learn fast, you know,” Lewis joked Wednesday.

A 2013 fourth-round pick of the Raiders, Wilson spent most of last season on Oakland’s practice squad before being waived in November. The Titans signed him in December before parting ways with him last week.

Wilson is most likely to play if Campbell is ruled out. Campbell did not practice on Wednesday, and there’s no need to rush him back in a preseason game unless he’s 100 percent. McCarron, the former Alabama standout, remains on the non-football injury list.

In Cincinnati, Wilson looks like a roster long shot, especially if McCarron returns to start taking reps. But Wilson has a place for now, and when the reserves are closing out Saturday night’s game, he could have a chance to put some plays on tape, which is about all he can ask for right now.

I’m very excited about matt Scott, I don’t know why they don’t release cambell he’s garbage, Scott has shown the most poise guts ad heart in just one preseason game, he’s a lock for the roster in my book see where he’s at in a year, I’m also bummed we don’t get to see McCaron play he won’t be playing this preseason, IMO, so let’s see what Scott and Wilson can do,

Tyler Wilson has gotten some rotten deals in his short NFL career so far, drafted by a team that is notorious for destroying NFL Careers was no help to him for showing the world he belongs in the NFL, expect them to do the same to Carr, he won’t start! Wilson by far was the best QB in the 2013 Draft and has not gotten a chance to get on the field, so why is everyone so anti Wilson? This is still the same guy that was projected to be drafted ahead of Andrew Luck and decided to stay an extra year.
Scott and Wilson Backing up Dalton is a great group, all three I. My opinion could start right now!
